SawdustDave Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share #515 Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks for dropping in again Pete, Greg, Mark,and Patrick.... and all the "likes". There's still area's to come that intimidate the heck out of me. I think the real challenge is going to come when I get to the beak and stern. Most of those figures will be created using Sculpy....one reason why I just took a shot at the little "busted" lady figure. All this hull decorating stuff is just practice for those more prominent areas that really define the SOS in my mind. Hope I'm able to pull those areas off within reason. Getting closer.

SawdustDave Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share #518 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Update.... New Sculpy figure. Mostly worked on adding new cannon ports and lids the last few days. As a break from that tedious task, I took a couple of hours out to play with this new little bust figure, very much the same as the one shown in earlier posting used on the gallery panels....slightly improved. These will be added to the aft main bulkhead. Again, using sculpy.... my favorite medium for such figures. Another improvement to one of the newer panels.... the "Queen on the Throne" carving seemed to have too much blank space on each side of the carving, so I added these two very simple little horses. Works much better for my eye. I think this has turned out to be my favorite panel at this point.

SawdustDave Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share #524 Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks again mates. The carving and sculpting is, indeed, a major part of the SOS.... main reason for my attempting to build her. However, I am also enjoying the difficulty of all the other aspects of creating the structural parts. This morning began with another re-do.... no surprise there, huh? The main port entry, created months ago, (originally created with a sculpy piece).... was installed as an open port, with no door. Faced with adding the same entry to the starboard side, I decided it should have doors, rather than an open port shown by the old plan sheets. So I carefully removed the delicate entry....managed to get it off in two pieces with no damage. Created the doors and stuck it back in place. Using the original mold, I'll do the same for the starboard side. . mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Piet and 12 others 15 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

Good question Vic.... I refer you to page 19.....posting #370 I think it really is a beautiful little trim that makes those panels pop in a unique way. The SOS is all about "bling", and that mesh trim allows me to bling away. Glad you like it.

Glad you could save the door molding pieces, plenty of bling there Cheers, Thought about the other hardware on the doors Piet, and concluded these doors would have always been secured internally with a heavy bar, and would have only been opened by a crew member from inside. What think ye? Not too late to add the typical rings. Also considered adding King Chuck's "CR" to the doors, but decided against it.

donrobinson Posted February 10, 2016 Share #531 Posted February 10, 2016 Good morning Dave, I just spent the last four hours, pot of coffee and way too many cigarettes going through your log. Man you have some sweet things happening here. I woke up this morning with full intentions of tying ratlines, this was much "bester" . and a lot more informative(Thanks). Looking forward to seeing more, as for door rings I would say yes. If anything they would be useful for securing doors open while on deck sitting at table having a cool one...........you were planning on deck, table and chairs right?

SawdustDave Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share #532 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Update....Bulkheads Before returning to the few hull carvings remaining to be done, I spent a few hours re-visiting the ornamentation of the three main bulkheads on the weather decks. I have recognized all along that they still needed a little more ornamentation, but never could decide what I wanted to put on them. Here's what I came up with.... (before and after pics) May still need to tweek the area on each side of the half deck initials "CR" seen in the middle pic....

SawdustDave Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share #534 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Note that the height of the image was a little too tall for the panel I will be sticking it in, so I had to distort the image slightly before gluing it to the vinyl board. Also, I'll be trying something a little different with this new carving. I discovered that much finer detail can be achieved by etching and carving into the plastic casting. I think this rough shaping in vinyl will give me a sharp enough mold casting to make a decent piece..
